NEXT FALLS ELECTIONS.
WHAT PLUMs WILL BE RIPE, AND
WHO HOPE TO GET SOME


Justices. Comptroller. District Attorney.
and Criminni Court Judac-The Chances.
II Il were only possible In politics to decide
things and Distribute the Offices four months
before election day, II would be easy to say
who most OF the next city officers of Now York
will be; that is, II the Labor party and tho
Republicans will allow themselves to be ignored
as much on election day rs the smaller Tam
many and County Democracy politicians are
overlooking them in their present and prema-
ture calculations. The County Democracy and
Tammany Hall are now on the most friendly
terms that have existed between them for
years, not because their love for each other has
in any way increased. but the presence Of the
8s000 vote power organization that compelled
them to unite last fall. when tho small poll
ticlans saw no necessity for It, is tho force that
has made the leaders not only agree on another
union. but write names all over tho slate that
look pretty now. But election is o long time
of, and the men who aren't on the slate OUT
number ten to one the mon who are there.
In this plan Of division which. by the way.
has not yet been assented to by Police Justice
Power. Fire Commissioner Croker. and Sheriff
Grant the high contracting powers last fall
and the moguls at present the offices are
divided up quite evenly between Tammany and
the County Democracy. There Is almost
enough material this fall to go around. though
II there were no Comptrollers and no District
Attorneys things might be settled more satis-
factorily The patronage, too. Is enough to
keep the wolf from the door OF, q good many
political families. The Comptroller loads the
list in some respects, for on his de-
